Description

Definition

INSHHANYCENGOVEMP indicates whether any member of the household is covered by health insurance through a central government health plan, which is for employees, pensioners, and dependents of central government employees.

The information in INSHHANYCENGOVEMP is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
